Yes, yes!
As for Dai. The first part, I can assure you Dai will surprise us and make us love him even more! The second part, however, no more Nikolai, pleeee-ase!

Oh my stars and garters! So many exciting announcements in this thread! My reactions so far:

Prince's "The Question of U" is an awesome, awesome song and an absolutely inspired choice for Jason Brown. It was used in the Joffrey Ballet production BIllboards, a ballet based on Prince songs. My only worry is whether they'll use the original Prince song, which is mostly instrumental, or some orchestral cover of it by someone else (Ingo Steuer did that for an SP way back in the day with Mandy Wötzel). Prince's production, guitar playing and the distinctive percussion used on the song are all pretty inimicable.

Richard Dornbush skating to some soupy instrumental version of "With or Without You" fills me with meh. I truly and completely loathe these instrumental/orchestral versions of pop songs, usually banged out on the quick for a few bucks. And "With or Without You" is a pretty mopey song to begin with.

Oh the irony of Adam Rippon skating to the soundtrack of The Incredibles, a movie where one of the main character has the power of super speed. But I guess from Dash's point of view, everybody moves as slowly as Adam Rippon does to the rest of us. I hope he doesn't stick too closely to reenacting The Incredibles on ice, and just use it as 60s style swing music.

Johnny Weir skating to Lady Gaga for a competition program? Words cannot express how excited I am at the idea! Although once again, I am worried I'll be subjected to awful instrumental covers of her songs. As per discogs.com, Lady Gaga has released singles with vocal-less versions of her songs, let's hope Weir uses those.

Lynn and Logan skating to an Adele medley fills me with mild misgivings. With the exception of Jeremy Abbott and Yuna Kim, skaters skating to Adele has generally been the lowlight of every exhibition. But at least L and L aren't using "Someone Like You", and this is a competitive program which will be necessarily different from exhibition numbers.

So we already have at least two confirmed Sound of Music short dances. I predict many more. And I predict by the end of the season we'll all hate and fear goats (and goatherds) as much as my friend who has a deathly phobia of goat all his life, and crashed his car into a goat a few days ago.

It's too funny/weird/unfortunate/ironic/unironic? that my friend has a real goat-phobia (a phobia so obscure I can't even find an official word for it, and there are official words for almost every phobia there is) all his life (the prominent rectangular pupils of goats freak him out), and he winds up being the one to accidentally kill a goat. Also, I secretly rather enjoy "The Lonely Goatherd" song, I may not actually get sick of it! I hope the teams does the silliest possible schtick to it, 'cause it is a very silly song.

Do we have any word from junior ice dancing teams? I've been dying to find out what possible hip hop songs may be on tap for the junior SD next season.
